Midwinter Pick-me-up

February 23, 2010

So around this time of year, we find ourselves searching for something new and exciting to get us through days that seem to linger while the sun continues to set early. Sapped of inspiration, we often seek guidance from others who claim to hold some key that we do not possess. This can lead many of us to a strange and unfamiliar place, sometimes for better and sometimes for worse.

As it pertains to fashion, I once found myself in such a quandary where I emerged comfortable sporting a wonderful assortment of scarves (…obviously for better). Yet another time I found myself  and others staring eerily at the pair of untied, fluorescent reissue hi-tops that had made their way onto mes pieds at a black tie event. Thankfully I quickly learned that daring does not necessarily mean shocking.

It is during these times that one recognizes how to take the pieces of advice that work for them and leave the rest. What I keep coming back to, however, after each of these seemingly lack luster periods is that good style comes starts and ends in what one is comfortable wearing.

This being said, I have a few recommendations for shoes this season that are both “stylish” and comfortable.

I guess we can assume that because everyone and their mom is making a Men’s mock boot they are in? And thank god because they are SUPER comfy.

For casual, try the Keds “Chukka”

For a slightly more “dressy” casual try Clark’s classic “Desert Boot”

If you’re into the indie-hipster thing, try the J. Press “Terrain” for a slight throwback feel

Whatever your style, remember it’s yours and you have to love it.
